You don't say which version. Is it the LE?

I see B&H have them used at about half the new price. Suggests more research needed perhaps.

I have the same lens on an A6000 and have been very pleased with it. No complaints.

I have used mine as my one travel lens on my A6000 and it has been an extremely effective and useful lens. I just upgraded to an A6600 and will also use it there.
A great buy!

Big & heavy and probably droops a lot? Otherwise OK. Quality at 200mm dependent on camera IS and technique. Nikon 18-200 a much better lens. I've had both by the way. Sony on an A6000, Nikons D90, D3400, D5300, D5600

Sorry, I’m having difficulty understanding the rationale for your question. But evidently, others who have responded thus far don’t find it peculiar, so perhaps I just have a different philosophy with respect to purchasing used equipment.

I presume that you bought this lens and cannot return it for a refund unless it’s defective. So NOW you solicit opinions as to whether it’s any good? If I am correct, what difference does it make whether there’s a consensus of opinion either for or against this lens' utility?

Sincerely puzzled,

Perhaps it may be but not much good on a Sony.
